from a trip to west africa. that patient right now is in isolation. this, of course, as we've been watching the ebowl lal outbreak in this part of the world and two patients now, one at emory, one en route to emory to be treated in atlanta. i'm book baldwin. live on cnn, let's go live to jerusalem. "the lead with jake tapper" "the lead with jake tapper" starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com we are live from jerusalem as violence terrorizes this holy city and word of another cease-fire brings new hope. i'm jack tapper. this is "the lead." the world lead, a city bus on its side and bullets flying in the streets, israel blaming terrorists for a deadly day in jerusalem as the war on the gaza border spills over. another cease-fire, that's short on the whole ceasing to fire thing. palestinians accusing israel of breaking their own truce was an attack that killed another innocent child rile while

palestinian mortars and rockets cause them to take cover. he called his wife to say good-bye. then an american hon received a dose of an experimental drug to treat the ebola virus saw the symptoms almost disappear. did a secret serum just stop an incurable illness and a miserable way to die. hello, we're live from jerusalem where there is some breaking news after one temporary cease-fire fell apart today, egypt is now proposing another three-day truce. ellise labott joins from us the state department. what are you hearing about this proposed 72-hour cease-fire. >> jake, i just spoke to a very senior egyptian official telling me egypt has proposed another humanitarian cease-fire for 22 hours to go into effect sometime tomorrow morning. we're talking about a full cessation of hostilities and the hope is that that kris osborn be

extended. egyptians were disappointed the cease-fire they worked on with the u.s. last week fell apart and that's why the egyptians are saying they will not hold negotiations with the israelis and palestinians till the fighting stops. they're hoping the cease-fire can go into effect tomorrow and they can bring both delegations tomorrow to talk about a more durable truce and they emphasize, jake, this is very tenuous but do have strong indications from israel and the palestinians that they're prepared to announce their acceptance after the egyptians announce it sometime tonight, jake. >> and in fact, we were supposed to have mark regev, the spokes olympian for prime minister benjamin netanyahu on the show today and just 10 or so minutes before the show, he had to cancel. we believe it's because this cease-fire proposal is being reviewed and he didn't want to say anything prematurely. one thing we do know is four palestinian factions, fatah,

hamas it, palestinian islamic jihad and the popular front for the liberation of palestinian, four are in egypt and have been meeting with egyptian officials. it was hamas that is rejected a palestinian proposal last week as well as the egyptian proposal a few weeks ago. what might have changed this time around? >> well, a couple of things, jake. obviously there's a lot of blame game going back and forth about who has been to blame. obviously, israel blaming hamas along with the international community but hamas saying israel violated its own truce. you have to look to qatar and turkey playing a very important role trying to convince hamas and those other palestinian factions to accept the cease-fire. we don't know yet whether they put intense pressure on the palestinian factions to accept. i'm told that the egyptians were the ones that have been working this. obviously that delegation is there, but i think with the mounting it civilian casualties everyone is getting tired. i think there's a recognition it

might be time to wrap this up, jake. >> there has been too much loss of innocent life. ellise labott, great reporting. res za sayah is on the phone from cairo. what are you hearing in egypt about this new proposed cease-fire? >> jake, we've seen what's happened to previous cease-fires in the fighting and wanton extremely careful in what we report here because we're getting slight lit different statements from two sources. a senior egyptian government official tells cnn that there are strong indications that all parties concerned, that's the palestinians and the israelis have accepted a cease-fire, a 72-hour cease-fire starting 8:00 a.m. tuesday morning. that's tomorrow. and an egyptian invitation to send delegations to see egypt to start talking. we also spoke to the palestinian ambassador to egypt who was part of the talks and he takes it a

step further. he says the cease-fire agreement is a done deal, that both sides have agreed to a 72-hour cease-fire beginning tomorrow. again, the ambassador saying it's a done deal. the egyptian source saying there's strong indications it's going to happen. we're working to confirm that this is a done deal but certainly this is a sign that after 28 days of fighting, the israelis and the palestinians are close perhaps, once again, to a cease-fire or they may have already agreed to it. we're not clear on that yet. cease-fire again to begin tuesday, tomorrow, 8:00 a.m. local time and continue for 72 hours, jake. >> and reza, just to underscore the point hamas complained in the past about not being included in the discussions when it came to the palestinian proposal last week when it came to the egyptian proposal. i think three weeks ago. this time hamas is at the table, correct? >> hamas is at the table and

here's a significant difference between this cease-fire and previous cease-fires. based on our information, this is an unconditional 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire. that means neither side has to meet any conditions or any demands. of course, those conditions and demands are what seemingly made the previous cease-fire announced on friday fall apart. this cease-fire, if it happens, based on our information, it's unconditional. the two sides simply stop fighting without meeting any conditions and ideally they get to cairo and start talking. >> all right. reza sayah in cairo. come back to us with more information. let's go now to former israeli ambassador to the united states michael oren in tel aviv. mr. orrin, good to have you on. what does the israeli government need to hear when it comes to

this cease-fire proposal? >> good to be with you, jake, as always. let's unpack what we've just heard. that the hamas is now sent a delegation to cairo and agreed to an unconditional cease-fire and that this cease-fire will go into effect by tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. what does all that mean? this is beak the same cease-fire that hamas was offered more than three weeks ago. unconditional in the sense that hamas has none of its demands met. hamas wanted money to pay 40,000 employees, it wanted border crossings opened. it wanted a port intoed mediterranean, wanted israel's maritime block, a very long list of demands. that list has lengthened over the weeks. most recently they were demanding free travel between the west bank and gaza. so none of those conditions have been met. israel was willing to achieve the cease-fire weeks ago.

and then hamas asked for cease-fires and broke its own cease-fire. israeli delegations were sent to cairo for peace talks. hamas didn't bother to send a delegation. hamas hat gotten around to sending a delegation and the result has been perhaps a cease-fire that would have been the exact same cease-fire that are could have been reached weeks ago without all of the suffering on both sides. so there's a great tragedy in that alone and then even then, hamas has repeatedly violated the cease-fire. it violated one again today, 100 rockets fired at israel today. two terrorist attacks in jerusalem. who knows? but israel stands ready to implement the cease-fire as worked out in cairo. >> so michael, why didn't israel send a delegation to cairo for this round of talks? i don't know if israel was invited a, and b, would israel theoretically be willing to an beside by a cease-fire

unconditionally? >> well, the uncondition -- the conditions are all on the hamas side. it was hamas who had put all the conditions. there were only own one condition israel had and that its armed forces could continue to neutralize the tunnels hamas had dug under the border to attack israeli farps and communities. that work has largely been concluded now and israeli forces are withdrawing from that part of the gaza strip, the northern part and civilians are now now told they can return to those neighborhoods. so that one condition has been mooted by facts on ground. hama still has a long list of conditions. the fact it's willing to accept the cease-fire unconditionally is admission of defeat. >> all right. former israeli ambassador to the united states, michael oren. thank you so much. coming up, more on this breaking news, a proposed cease-fire between gaza and israel. will hamas accept it? i'll ask the hamas spokesperson

ahead. will israel accept it? plus a man in new york being tested for ebola after a trip to west africa and his symptoms are consistent with the killer disease. we'll have that breaking news ahead.

we're coming to you live from jerusalem and we are monitoring the breakings from cairo with egypt now trying to broker a three-day cease-fire between israel and the palestinians. an official saying the truce would be for "purely humanitarian purposes." meantime, the latest flash points in this conflict exploded not just on the tense border between israel and gaza and within gaza itself but here for the first time in this holy city

for jews, muslims and christians, an earth mover driven by a palestinian fixed up an empty passenger bus overturninging it where it killed one man and injured several others. police called this an act of terror and hamas praised the attack saying this was a natural reaction to the israeli crimes against our differents. moments later, a man on a motorcycle opened fire on an israeli soldier near the entrance to hebrew university's mount scope pass campus and took off towards a palestinian neighborhood in east jerusalem, according to israeli police. it looks as though this is a new front in this current battle, and it comes after a morning that had promised some measure of paets. >> the israeli government had promised a 24-hour cease-fire to allow for humanitarian aid to be delivered into gaza. but within 20 minutes of the appointed hour, the quiet was

gone replaced by explosives, and accusations from both sides. the palestinian health ministry claims israeli strikes shattered the cease-fire, injuring 30 and killing 18 people. including a 8-year-old girl at a refugee camp. the israelis initially denied on cnn. >> that's not true. when we give an order to our forces to hold fire they hold fire. before reversing course and acknowledging the attack although denying it was a violation of the cease-fire because they claim the operation was under way when the cease-fire began. meanwhile, along the border with gaza, israeli sirens sounded today, cignaing incoming rockets and mortars from gaza. as we made our way south along the border with gaza, we visited israeli neighborhoods that have for years been targets for the rockets of hamas and other extremist groups. the israeli government called a brief humanitarian cease-fire

today to bring in supplies to the people of gaza but it's still fraught with tension here on the border. people on the israeli side not knowing when the next rocket or mortar is going to come over from militants in gaza, people in gaza not knowing when the cease-fire is going to be dropped and bombing and the ground operations will resume. just a few kilometers from rafa, the site of the condemned shelling of a united nations school turned shelter that killed more than ten palestinian civilians, we had coffee with a university professor who lives at kibbutz sufah, the short walk between his patioen an the fence that separated him from the palestinians is literally a war zone. >> two nights we didn't really sleep. yesterday a mortar fell 100 meters from my house. and today, it is so quiet that we're very, very tense and waiting to see what's going to

happen. >> reporter: bran dice says he feels bad for the innocent palestinians being killed by his government and the military for which his son fights but he also sees the security choice today as a stark one. at the moment it's either them or me. unfortunately, they are being held hostage by their own regime. okay? i used to say that israeli people uses the idf to protect the people. hamas uses the people to protect the missiles and the hamas. >> as we left this morning before of the outbreak. violence in jerusalem, bran dice had been through too many failed cease-fires to exhale. >> how does it feel? do you feel relieved or is it just going to start up again? you just don't know the when? >> because of our experience and because just in this round six cease-fires didn't hold up, we're very, very tense. somewhere inside, we hope it's the beginning of the end but we do not allow ourselves to relax

completely because we know he that any second, it could change. >> on the way back to jerusalem, it can looed as though bran dice might have reason to hope at the very least the idf ground campaign in gaza might be coming to a close. we saw an military vehicles seemingly moving away from the boarder. >> this is obviously still a very heavily militarized area. all day we've seen tanks and armor personnel carriers being driven away from the area of gaza perhaps part of this pullbacking that israeli government officials have been discussing. >> but as we drew closer to jerusalem and the day wound down, the tensions sparked anew after the two attacks in the city center, police helicopters circled overhead and the israelis said another two soldiers will been shot near a border crossing. >> continuing with the breaking news about the cease-fire proposal coming from egypt, the palestinian factions coming together, we have this statement

ali unionist just got off the phone with senior political i zack ra shack in cairo who said "the palestinian delegation has come to cairo and eager to end the war and have a cease-fire and agreed with the egyptian initiative that considers the palestinian poths. he added we are waiting on the israelis to show up for the talks with the egyptians about the proposed cease-fire. if israel does not show up, it means they were never serious about ending this war and it will show their true intentions. we are still, of course, awaiting word from israel about their reaction to this proposal. we don't even know if they have received the proposal. we were supposed to have an israeli spokesman, an israeli government spokesman on the show but ten minutes before the show he begged off because of this breaking news. the cease-fire talks are continue. we are still, of course, hearing reports of violence, hearing reports of missiles still being fired into gaza by the israeli defense forces. let's go live right now to martin savidge. gaza city.

tell us what you're seeing. >> we can still hear the israeli drones overhead. they've been pretty much a permanent fixture ever since the conflict began. we've also heard artillery. earlier in the evening, we saw flares a few minutes ago. every indication this military operation is going on. on both sides. it was very evident this evening. we've also seen outgoing rocket fire. we've seen iron dome in action. we've seen just about everything including gunfire on the streets below although it appears to be unrelated to the overall conflict. it shows you the hazards of gaza are both big and small. regarding this process and this peace process and whether or not we're going to get a cease-fire, by my count now the i believe we're up to maybe nine or ten. it really dependings which side you talk to here. so there's going to be a great deal of concept tickism. of course, the israelis have to

participate. there's a lot of pressure on them to show up. they have to participate if they want to make this work. they may not decide to show up. there will be a lot of people watching that. however, egypt has been a strong ally of israel throughout all of this. they have not been what had been a traditional supporter of hamas. that all ended with the new president el sisi. it might be considered a slap against the egyptian president if israel just suddenly said you know what, we're coming even though you went to all the trouble to set this up. the other thing to look for will be if representatives from hamas and islamic jihad from gaza show up an the talks there in egypt. up till this point, they have said they wouldn't attend because it's too dangerous for them to come out of hiding and attend those talks. there's a lot of things that still have to lock into place before 8:00 tomorrow morning or before we really see if this is going to come to fruition.

jake? ing. >> of course, the devil in the details, of course. this is an area of the country. the israelis and palestinians can't even agree how to pronounce hamas. but let's go back to the israeli strike on that refugee camp in gaza city. have people managed to get out of these refugee camps in time to escape these most recent air strikes? and has humanitarian aid been allowed in as the israeli government said was going to happen when we were driving around gaza today, he we saw lots of trucks we assumed bearing humanitarian aid. did they get in? >> well, okay. oh let's take the last part first. we did see humanitarian aid that appeared to be getting in. i saw trucks marked as u.n. and so they were coming in and they clearly seemed to be delivering aid. we know the blood came in which was vitally needed. we also know that will emergency kits were brought in. and then you know, when it came

down to the family level, we saw a lot of people on streets trying to shop and get the basics including getting money out of the bank and getting their prescriptions refilled, all the things they couldn't do fearing they were under threat. that said though, there is a huge humanitarian problem that has still got to be resolved. it's water, electricity, sewage, it's help. all of those will still be a problem after whatever cease-fire comes and goes. the other thing that should be pointed out, what is israel saying here? will they still go after their tunnels? will the drones still be hanging overhead? will they still be carrying out operations which they are in the southern part of gaza? that is something that israel may say look, that's part of the agreement, isn't it? you can see how this thing could fall apart quickly. >> all right. martin savidge. we should note we're getting this news right now that the

palestinians, the palestinian leadership has agreed to the egyptian cease-fire proposal. our understanding is that includes at least four different palestinian factions, fatah from the west bank, hamas, palestinian islamic jihad and the popular front for the liberation of palestinian all agrees to the egyptian proposal including hamas quite significantly. we're going to continue on that story. coming up, she barely escaped death and destruction in gaza with her life but one within palestinian woman still believes the shelling by hamas should continue. and she explains why coming up next. plus, a patient in new york in isolation showing symptoms of the ebola virus. he's now being tested and we'll have details coming up. you used to sleep like a champ.

cease-fire proposal offered by egypt, the egyptian government. they say they are now waiting on the israeli side to offer their view on whether or not they will come to cairo. we are here in the middle east where another truce fell apart today. but let's go right to mark regev. a spokesman for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and well first of all, mr. regev, thanks for being here. what's your understanding of the details of this cease-fire proposal, are 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire? >> basically, this is the egyptian proposal. >> from three weeks ago. >> that was eped is three weeks ago. if the palestinian parties, the different groups in gaza have accepted it, so what has to be said is all the loss of life that we've seen in the last three weeks has been totally without any reason. israel accepted this proposal three weeks ago.

>> are you willing to accept it again in. >> we have. this is the same proposal. it's the egyptian proposal which calls for an immediate cease-fire unconditional cease-fire. and then the parties will agree to talk about the outstanding issues. for us, the most important outstanding issue is the issue of demilitarization because we don't want to revisit this conflict in six months or a year. we want it to be over. >> for the palestinians especially in gaza, one of the issues they're most concerned about is an ability to thrive with the maritime blockade being lifted. access to israel, access 0 egypt, those entry points being opened. i know israel doesn't technically call it a blockade. whatever you would call it. would israel be willing to entertain those requests, demands, whatever they are in cairo in these subsequent talks? >> prime minister netanyahu said publicly a few days ago that if

we get sustained quiet from gaza, the restrictions there for security reasons can be eased. ultimately when we left gaza neen years ago, when we pulled out of gaza, we signed an agreement for access and movement. there was supposed to be trade and commerce, tourism. cooperation. the reason all that doesn't exist is because of the violence because of hamas because of the rockets. if we get sustained quiet from gaza, if they're no longer attacking us, then from our point of view, of course we can rethink our relationship with gaza. if gaza ceases to be loss tile, that's a new reality. >> are you willing to negotiate with hamas, a group both israel and the united states designate as a terrorist organization, also a group elected to represent the people of gaza, israel has been very clear in saying that hamas is the same as al qaeda. hamas is the same as boca haram. would israel be willing to negotiate peace was hamas?

>> as long as hamas is a terrorist organization and it's not just israel. is you say, it's the united states the european union, canada, australia. all these countries have officially legally declared hamas a terrorist organization. unless hamas changes its fundamental patterns of behavior, there's no sign of that, they continue to target at innocent civilians and continue to shoot rockets to send death squads across the border through those tunnels, unless hamas changes they are still a terrorist organization and we will not speak to them. the negotiations are through intermediaridries. that's the way it will be because we don't talk to be terrorist organizations. >> let's talk about the 72 hours because obviously, the cease-fires of the last few weeks have not been successful to put it lightly. >> and here i'd stress, we are entering this with our eyes wide open. we've had over the last three weeks eight proposed

cease-fires. all of them either hamas rejected or violated this em. this we saw explode again last friday when there was a skeers fire that people worked on, they worked on this for days endless hour of work putting together bit by bit a cease-fire and we saw that hamas violated it within an hour and a half. we're coming to this with our eyes open. the onus is on hamas and the other terrorist groups in gaza. will they violate this other agreement. if they do, i think it will be clear to everyone who is responsible for the continuation of the violence. >> if hamas islamic jihad, fatah, popular front for the liberation of palestine, are others, abide by the cease-fire, does israel commit to abide? because as you know, there was a humanitarian pause that israel declared today and then israel hit some islamic jihad targets in a refugee camp also hitting some other people including an

8-year-old girl. israel said initially that's not true. israel that was an ongoing operation so it doesn't count. this on going operation, is israel willing to stop operations so there are no on going operations that can continue? >> we will cease all our activities military activities, all our offensive operations against terrorist targets in the gaza strip. >> including tunnels? >> including everything. the tunnel issue is being solved by itself. that's winding up anyway. that's winding up anyway. so basically if hamas and the other terrorist groups in gaza honor this egyptian pro, of course we will. >> and israel is willing to go to cairo? you're willing to send somebody to cairo to talk about what next, both as part of signing off on the cease-fire and also in the talks about gaza's status and improving the life of gaz ands? >> the egyptian initiative has different elements.

the most important at the beginning is unconditional immediate cease-fire that we accepted three weeks ago and now finally hamas and others are accepting that. there are discussions in cairo which we'll be part of. for us the most important issue is working to make sure that hamas do not rearm and to longer term goal the demilitarization of gaza because our problem is that hamas has this enormous military machine. because of this conflict we have acted to take apart that machine. we don't want to see that terrorist military machine rebuilt. we don't want to see more rockets in gaza or more tunnels. we have to make sure that gaza stays demilitary rised. >> you wouldn't enclue, there would be, i would assume it's okay with israel gaza have some sort of police force and that those members are armed. yes? >> we don't have a problem with that sort of thing. >> okay. you just mentioned that the tunnel situation is over. is it over? are the tunnels gone, 31 tunnels i think? >> i'm not going to give a number. the operation is winding up as

we speak. >> that shouldn't be a consideration going forward? >> i don't believe so. >> all right. well, from your lips to god's ears. >> we'll be watching very closely to see what hamas does after 8:00 in the morning. we've been burnt more than once when the u.n., the united states and others have said cease-fire and hamas has destroyed the hopes for a better future. we'll be watching closely to see what happens tomorrow morning. >> we're going to talk to a representative from hamas coming up and we play for peace and hope this holding. thank you so much, mark regev, spokesman for benjamin netanyahu. coming up, that three-day cease-fire agreed upon by palestinians will hamas firing missiles, this time around, still happen? ask a spokesman for the group next. plus an experimental treatment never used on humans before but this american on what he thought was his deathbed took a chance and it likely saved his life. why isn't this mystery serum available to everyone who has ebola? coming up. what's your function? ♪

welcome back to "the lead." i'm jake tapper live from jerusalem. we're following breaking news that both sides, the israelis and the palestinians, have agreed to a three-day cease-fire as brokered by egypt. of course, as we've learned, hopes of a truce even a temporary one, often rise just as quickly as they crumble. leaders of hamas, the group that controls gaza and is designated a terrorist organization by the u.s. government have steadfastly refused in the past to adhere to any cease-fire that does not include meeting demands that would in their view improve the lives of the 1.8 million people of gaza. now, the israeli government has made no secret of its belief that hamas cannot be trusted to an beside by a cease-fire but also, it is also true that working through intermediarieie israel has just signed off as

announced by mark regular geb that they will sign off on the 72-hour cease-fire proposal. joining me now live from qatar is the spokesman for hamas, osama hamdan. thank you so much for joining us. is it true hamas has signed off on this 72-hour cease-fire agreement? >> one, in fact, not only accepted 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire, in fact, we -- our efforts in egypt the last two days, today and yesterday, make that to be a fact. now, we hope that the israeli side will be committed to the cease-fire and they won't violate that like what had happened to the last 72 hours when they violated that and rafa committing a massacre killing 150 palestinians -- 80% of them they were women and children.

we hope that israel will be committed to that cease-fire and i believe this is a big question because a few days ago, is the speaker of knesset had published a comran for the complete destruction of the israelis in gaza suggesting to put them all in concentration camps. it's genocide. this is the mentality of a senior likud member and the beauty of the knesset talking about the palestinians like this. we hope they can be committed to the cease-fire. >> i take your point on the language from the deputy speaker of the knesset but with all due respect sir, you yourself have said things in the past that would cause israelis to not trust you, not trust hamas. let's look forward and talk about this cease-fire for if we

could, i don't want this to turn into a list of things people have said in the past. let's talk about bringing peace possibly even for just three days to this besieged region. >> excuse me. excuse me. it's not the best. it's three days ago only. it's the first of august this year. so we are not talking about a very past. we are talking about three days ago. and although i'm saying that i hope that they can be committed and you know, they were criticized by the united states yesterday and the united nations after they bombed a school killing children and women, killing innocent people in the school, and they suggested that there was someone passing by on a motorcycle as a wanted person and they killed the people there. so we are talking about facts on the ground, not an old history so i hope that -- they can control themselves.

those are acts, yes, that we covered here on cnn and but again, it's not as though hamas doesn't have blood on its hands. let's talk about the 72 hours. do you commit that none of the individuals who are associated with hamas will fire rockets or mortars into israel? >> well, as i told you, this is was created mainly by the efforts of the palestinian delegation including hamas. we arer of the cease-fire. we will be committed to that you beless the israelis did not violate that. we hope that they will not violate the cease-fire at this time. >> i talked to mark regev, the spokesman for benjamin netanyahu. we talked about things that members of hamas, members of the palestinian community want for the people of gaza.

one of the items that people in israel i think would be very interested to know is whether or not hamas is willing to remove from its charter "the day of judgment will not come about until muslims fight against the jews and the muslims would kill them until the jews would hide themselves behind a stone or tree." that's interpreted here in israel as a charter calling for the killing of jews. would hamas consider removing that from its charter? >> well, i want you to consider two issues. the first, the speaker when he talking about genocide against the palestinians it's a fact that he's in a position where he can make a decision. while in hamas we say clearly we are against occupying. we don't have the problem with the jews because they jews. in fact, we respect their religion. we respect their prophet.

we believe he's like mupd our prophet and we believe in both plus jesus. we believe in the three of them, unlike the israelis who does not believe in jesus or muhammad. >> would you consider removing that from the charter. >> let me continue that. we are not against the jews as jews. we don't have problem with them. they lived among the arabs in the arab area after they were consisteds out from the europe in the middle ages and lived normal people. they lived as citizens in our countries. we are against the occupation upgs regardless to their religion or the race of the occupation. we want the land to be free. we want our people to be free. we don't want to live under an apart hide system crowed by the israelis thinking that they have the right to control our lives and our people. this is the fact. >> i understand. >> if they are against a sentence here or there, we want them to change the occupation. we want them to withdraw from our occupied lands which

everyone in the international community is saying it's an occupied territories. they have to withdraw. if they withdraw, they will help at creating this. continuing the occupation and killing palestinians will not bring peace and will not bring security for both the palestinians and them. >> that's true. and killing jews will not bring security or peace either. osama hamdan, we appreciate your time. up next, a patient in a new york city being tested for ebola after returning from west africa with symptoms of the killer virus. details on his condition coming up next. the bad?" so we gave people the power of the review. and now angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. you can easily buy and schedule services from top-rated providers. conveniently stay up to date on progress. and effortlessly turn your photos into finished projects with our snapfix app. visit angieslist.com today.

now be on american shores. not in atlanta. in new york city. mount sinai hospital is testing a man for ebola after he was admitted with a high fever and told doctors he had recently traveled to west africa. doctors have put the patient in isolation. no word yet on how long those lab tests will take and how soon doctors will know if this man does in fact have the virus. let's bring in jason carroll. jason, what is the latest that you're hearing from the hospital? >> well, doctors here at mount sinai as you can imagine are trying to get to the bottom of this diagnosis just as quickly and accurately as they can. here's what i can tell you. earlier today, a male patient who had traveled to the region in quell checked himself in very, very sick with some of the similar early symptoms of ebola, as you mentioned a high fever, gastrointestinal issues, as well. patients and doctors here basically doctors basically here

are saying this patient is in strict isolation. he is undergoing a medical screening. just to give this a little bit more perspective is, cdc spokesperson also telling us that since this epidemic broke out, since last march, there have been some six patients also treated here in the united states. they had also traveled to the area in question. all of those tests with all of those patients came back negative. it should take about a day or so for tests from this particular patient to come back, but as you can imagine, a lot of worry here in new york city. the hospital releasing a statement. i'll read part of it to you. it says the necessary steps, all necessary steps are being taken to ensure the safety of all patients visitors and staff. we will continue to work closely with federal, state and city health officials to address and monitor thrm particular case. the hospital also saying, jake, it's going to be doing whatever it can to keep the community

abreast of what's been happening here, as well. jake? >> jason carroll, thank you so much. kent brently, an american who contracted this disease in liberia, walked into emory hospital on sated is just days after being a few heart beats away from death. thanks to a secret experimental treatment never been tried on humans. cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta has the latest from emory hospital. >> last thursday, dr. kent brantly thought he was going to die. it was the 9th day since he came down sick with ebola. his condition worsening by the minute. he called his wife to say good-bye. but he also knew just hours earlier a secret highly experimental drug called zmap had been delivered to the clinic. the serum was delivered in sub zero temperatures and with clear instructions allow the vials to thaw naturally before administering. it would be an agonizing eight-hour wait. when it arrived, brantley told

his colleague nancy writebol who was also sick she should have the first dose. but as brantley's health deteriorated and he became more desperate, he asked for writebol's now thawed medication. it was a risk. the treatment had been tried in monkeys and it seemed to work. but never before had it been tried in a human. not even to test safety. dr. kent brantly would be the first. while doctors don't often use this term, they describe what happened next asmir callous. within an hour of receiving the medication, dr. brantley's condition seemed to make a dramatic turn around. his breathing improved. the rash over his trunk nearly faded away. >> i do hope that it was as impressive as being described because if it is, that bodes very well for that particular product. >> by the next morning, brantley was able to shower on his own before making the 6,000 mile transport to atlanta. saturday afternoon, another

first. watch as brantley walks off the back of the ambulance. he became the first patient infected with the ebola virus to ever set foot in the united states. or even this part of the world. tuesday, his colleague nancy writebol who also received the zmap serum will join brantley at emory university hospital. you know, jake, again, this has never been done on a human being before. it had significant benefits in monkeys and nonhuman pry mates. it's what's known as a monoclonal antibody. beak what it means is you take animals, inject them with the virus, they make cells to fight the virus. you take those cells then and create a medication. that's essentially what a monoclonal antibody is. that was the gist of it. again, we don't know if this fell under compassionate use, why dr. brantley was able to get this, how it happened. usually these things go through

a clinical trial where it's tested for safety first and then effica efficacy. this was given to him at a very early stage. one thing, as well, this is happening realtime. i mean it, people were asking why isn't this more widely available. it wasn't supposed to be available at all till it went through the clinical trial process. they decided to give it a shot with dr. brantley and nancy writebol, as well. how it sort of plays out, ow more widely it may become available, we do the know. but this is happening, jake, as we speak. >> sanjay, very quickly, what can you tell us about this patient in new york? we have about 20 seconds left. >> there's been about a half a dozen or so patients that have come back from west africa with fever because of the heightened tension, a lot of them are getting checked out. none of those half dozen have been confirmed as ebola. still likelihood is pretty low.

>> thanks, dr. gupta. i'm jake tapner jerusalem. i'll be back tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern. i now turn you over to wolf blitzer in "the situation room." >> breaking news. there's an ebola scare at a new york city hospital. a patient who traveled to west africa is under strict isolation being tested for the deadly virus. new truce in gaza. israel and the palestinians both say they agree to an egyptian plan for a three-day cease-fire. will that work and stop the air strikes? will it stop the rockets? jerusalem attacks. a soldier is shot by a man on a motor bike and police shoot and kill an operator of a truck who killed a pedestrian and weerturned a bus.
